https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2685568-1&h=399786551&u=https%3A%2F%2Fthehouseofaia.com%2F&a=Palma%C3%AFa%2C+The+House+of+A%C3%AFA 
), invites guests to celebrate the complexity of the Riviera Maya while 
reconnecting with nature, the sanctity of life, and the true human spirit. In a 
region dotted with resorts and hotels, Palmaia stands apart with its location 
between a pristine white sand beach and cool-water cenotes on the cusp of the 
undisturbed jungle, and thoughtful programming created for guests to explore 
and step outside their usual comfort zones.

The founder and visionary behind Palmaia, Alexander Ferri, designed the resort 
experience after his own way of living, with the belief that inner exploration 
and respect for nature and community is key to bringing people together to 
create meaningful change. The resort is a place where visitors can seek 
personal growth through the property's curated rituals and deep connecting 
ceremonies. 

One of the jewels of the experience is the Architects of Life program led by 
the in-house Shaman Balder. Alongside hand-selected visiting teachers and 
guides, Balder will lead guests through rituals such as cacao ceremonies, yoga, 
multi vibrational sound healing, meditation, plant ceremonies, and ancient 
practices that inspire reflection, exploration, and connection.

The resort will also feature a Rituals of Sound program that pays homage to the 
music environment of Tulum and Mykonos, but in a more exclusive relaxed setting 
available only to guests. Palmaia will become a stage for creative experimental 
musicians who will transport guests through curated deep beats, and deep-fusion 
electronic music with acoustic overlays. These music rituals will take place in 
various forms daily from 4 p.m. until midnight allowing all ages to enjoy some 
conscious fun. 

"There is a growing community of unconventional thinkers and spiritual seekers 
that gather in small communities around the world to embrace creativity, music 
and the environment. Together we are creating a new modern collective 
consciousness," said Ferri. "Palmaia was designed to be one of these gathering 
points, and currently the only natural, forward thinking beach enclave of its 
kind. A safe place where we can create positive change within the boundaries of 
modern society." 

Perfectly matched to its surroundings of the Caribbean Sea and jungle, Palmaia 
offers travelers all oceanfront suites, each with its own private terrace for 
views of the Caribbean ocean in seven distinctive layouts. They include suites 
for families with bunk-bedding for children as well as open plan suites for 
adults, suites with swim-out access to one of the hotel's four infinity pools; 
and suites nestled among the ocean-side jungle - all designed sustainably and 
without the use of animal products. A Nomadic Guide will be assigned to each 
traveler to attend to guests needs throughout the stay, and for parents, 
Palmaia operates the only holistic fun children's activities program in 
hospitality run by certified Waldorf Educators.

While on property, guests can dine from a selection of four restaurants ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2685568-1&h=3135483195&u=https%3A%2F%2Fthehouseofaia.com%2Ffruit-of-the-earth-palmaia-the-house-of-aia%2F&a=four+restaurants 
) along with a rotating food truck, each serving ethically sourced food from 
trusted farms and fisheries around Mexico. Executive Chef Eugenio Villafaña, 
who has trained at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, oversees the culinary 
programming. This includes creating parallel plant-based menus for each dining 
venue, a unique culinary offering in Riviera Maya and throughout the 
hospitality industry. Leading the plant-based dining programming is Noma 
alumni, Mauricio Alvarez.

The signature fine-dining restaurant LEK serves gastronomic Mexican; Mar de 
Olivio is a destination for redefined Mediterranean cuisine; and the 
Oriental-fusion restaurant Ume merges Thai and Continental cuisines for à la 
carte dinner experiences highlighting sensual fragrances, exotic flavors, and 
densely rich hues. Su Casa, an integrated beach bar and restaurant on the dunes 
offers a laid-back Caribbean beach ambiance, with toes-in-the-sand comforts 
while El Caminante, offers an authentic food truck experience with a daily 
rotating menu. 

Eolo Beach Club plays beats by visiting sound artists, two pool bars serve 
fresh fruit cocktails and custom creations based on guests' mood, and the 
exclusive Atlas Club creates libations late into the night and houses a Health 
Café where guests can relax in a more modern city loft environment while 
sipping matcha lattes and snacking on avo-toasts. 

The resort also includes a jungle spa, Atlantis( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2685568-1&h=14612265&u=https%3A%2F%2Fthehouseofaia.com%2Feco-spa-atlantis-jungle-spa-the-house-of-aia%2F&a=Atlantis 
), where ancient ceremonies like the storied Temazcal are included in the menu 
of services. At Atlantis, one is guided by the Book of the Nine Paths to 
Health, designed to treat emotions as root causes rather than physical pain. 
Treatment rooms feature floor to ceiling windows that look out onto the foliage 
and are immersed between natural cenotes used for rituals and meditation. The 
fitness center is also hidden in the jungle.

Guided by the philosophy that personal growth is the path to connect with 
Nature, Palmaia was conceptualized without disturbing the original landscape of 
nature. The resort was designed with sustainability in mind and strives to 
become one of the first true carbon-neutral properties in the world in 2021 by 
compensating the energy Palmaia uses by building solar panels on the resort and 
in other parts of Mexico. Additionally, guests will not find plastic water 
bottles on property and all bathroom amenities will be refillable and made with 
100% biodegradable ingredients and essential oils.

Palmaia is a gifting community, and will provide everything guests need in the 
cost of a stay, so guests can enjoy unrestricted access without the hassle of 
exchanging currency. Opening rates start at $600 per person per night. For
